There is no doubt that Honda City has always been one of the most popular cars in India, ever since the launch of the third generation City in 1998. The current model is the sixth generation iteration of the City and gets a host of updates to the exterior as well as the interior.
Exterior
The Honda City facelift will get an updated front end with a new grille, new bumper, and redesigned headlamps. In all probability, the headlamps will be LEDs and so will be the fog lamps. Also, the car will get LED DRLs, making it look fresher and bolder.
At the rear, the tail lamps too will be LED units and there will be a spoiler with LED stop lamp as well. The City facelift will also have new diamond cut 16-inch alloy wheels.
Safety
As far as safety is concerned, dual airbags, ABS and ISOFIX mounts for children will be standard fitment across all trims. The higher trims will get up to six airbags which include side and curtain airbags.
Engine Specifications
The engines and dimensions! The city will continue to be powered by a 1.5-litre iVTEC engine with a CVT and a 5-speed manual transmission option and a 1.5-litre iDTEC engine with a 6-speed manual transmission. The CVT variants will get paddle shifts like the current model on sale as well. The overall dimensions of the car remain the same.
Price
The Honda City facelift will have five trims, which are the S, SV, V, VX and the ZX, where the VX and the ZX will be the top trims. We estimate that the prices for the City facelift would begin from ₹ 9 lakh for the base petrol variant and go up till ₹ 13 lakh or so for the top of the line diesel variant. As far as competition is concerned, the Honda City facelift will be going up against the Maruti Suzuki Ciaz, Skoda Rapid, Volkswagen Vento and the soon-to-be-launched new-generation Hyundai Verna.
